quotation
Usage Note
Citación has two main senses: a legal summons (recibió una citación judicial) and an academic or textual quotation. The word cita is its shorter, more colloquial sibling covering appointments, dates, and brief quotes; citación leans formal. Plural follows the regular -n/-ones pattern: citaciones.
Examples
"Recibió una citación para declarar ante el juez."
